I bought this necklace easily over 7 years ago in TJ Maxx.
My mother has told me: “Racism is terrible.” I too have a strong aversion to hate.
As an Author and Advocate I seek to promote healing and recovery. I believe that a person can recover from whatever obstacle they face.
They could be a victim of a microaggression or actual racism. They could have an illness mental or physical. They could have been born on the wrong side of the tracks. They could be not the brightest bulb in the lamp.
Whatever challenge a person faces–whatever obstacle either internal or external stands in their way–I believe a person can rise up and change their life for the better.
The way to fight stigma of any kind is to dare to act true to yourself. To show up as [insert your name here] in every interaction you have with another person.
My M.O. is to show others by acting true to myself that you have the right to be who you are without being hated or judged for who you are.
I ask you:
Why can’t a person decide to love others in the face of being told not to?
Why can’t we refrain from hating and judging people we haven’t met?
My intent is for this blog to be a respite from the real world.
To be a place where followers can take joy in what I write.
Where what I write contributes to making life on earth better.
I’ve decided to take this blog in a more positive direction.
Choosing carefully what I write to send a message of hope and optimism.
Though the year has just begun I believe each of us can overcome whatever struggle we might be facing.
You do you. And I will do who I am. Together we can change the world.
